WILLMAR -- Casey Sussenguth scored 16 of his game-high 24 points in the second half and Ridgewater College held off Central Lakes College 81-78 in an MCAC inter-dvisional men's basketball game on Saturday.

Sussenguth, a 6-7 freshman forward from Willmar, was a force anywhere near the iron. He made 10-of-15 shots and also pulled down 10 rebounds.

Derek Eisenschenk, a sophomore guard from Cold Spring, went inside for two key baskets in the last two minutes; the second with 14 seconds left to seal the win. He finished with 16 points.

Ben Moser, a sophomore from Paynesville, hit a three-pointer to start the second half and the Warriors led 39-32. But they could never shake the Raiders in the high-tempo game.
